Git 1.6.0 Released, New Improvements

Git, the revision control system used by the Linux kernel, X.Org, and numerous other free software projects (including our very own Phoronix Test Suite at Phorogit), has reached a new important milestone. Git 1.6.0 has been released with a number of changes since the earlier Git 1.5.6 release. Changes for building Git in a MinGW environment have been integrated into the mainline code, reduced memory consumption, performance optimizations, improved documentation, and quite a few other noticeable changes. The release announcement for Git 1.6.0 can be read on the Linux kernel mailing list.
